akula:I have a minor shellfish allergy. It means I don't cook shellfish.

It's annoying. I miss shrimp something awful. That was good eating. Ditto scallops. I never really got into lobster- just didn't have much taste for me. I can eat clam chowder with no issues, but a seafood bisque will usually have me throat clearing a lot... the same reaction I get to cats.

Thank God I'm not allergic to peanuts. I love me some peanuts.

I shave the cats first and leave them on the grill a bit longer than most people do, so I don't have that problem.

neefafeefa:For all of you that have general aches, pains, depression, low sex drive, fatigue, etc - try going grain, refined sugar and lactose free for just two weeks - it's difficult at first, but you will feel and look 100% better.

Funny, I just send the wife to somewhere away from here with her friends for a couple of weeks. After about the third day, I perk right up.
